Same-sex marriage illusion

With the Supreme Court preparing to tackle high-profile same-sex marriage cases next month, why does the subject even deserve legitimate consideration, given the fact that findings from diverse reports (UCLA, U.S. Census, Family Research Report, GLBT Task Force) show that only 2.6 percent of the adult population is homosexual?

And not all of them want same-sex marriage legitimized. Census data reveals that in the past 15 years, one in five same-sex couples took advantage of legal recognition. That's 0.06 percent of the population. Since 0.67 percent of legally recognized same-sex couples in the U.S. are female, the number of homosexual men seeking marriage is 0.02 percent of the population.

However, the few revert to their default claim that we are all homophobic if we oppose them, and the illusion of a mass movement is created. Homosexual marriage is a false premise riding on a liberal mass-media bandwagon supported by politicians frothing at the mouth to garner a few votes on Election Day.

It's no more than a well-built house of smoke and mirrors to force legal acceptance of self-serving lifestyle and demanding the court of public opinion accept it. Any attempt to redefine something as basic to biology as the atom is to physics, is a threat to the existence of our species.

How can we support something so destructive? If it flies under the radar of common sense when court decides its fate in the weeks ahead, we will all be diminished.
